Crusher is an American Double IPA that I started making years ago at the old pub. Hop heads were constantly asking for more hops. So, in the words of Frank Zappa, "Did you say you want some more? Well here's some more." While I enjoy hops with the rest of them, I still try to maintain some semblance of balance and drinkability. This beer is oozing with hop flavor and aroma with a very dry finish. Enjoy responsibly, this one can sneak up on you.

Can at home from and J and B Craft Drinks, 30th March 24. Pours a hazy, cloudy yellow orange. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus pith, taste is bittersweet, pithy, grapefruit, beautifully made and balanced, malts are integrated and the bitterness is long lived. Delicious

Kolere, weer zo lekker. Fijn om ook gewoon een ouderwetse lading bitterheid te hebben

RB backlog. Floral hops, super ripe mango, thick whey-like passion fruit, floral notes, pine needles. Super round. Starts lightly sweet, turns surprisingly tart and zesty which adds lightness, medium bitterness. Top notch, delicious, doesn't show ABV.
